A productive day

Well I had two interviews today. Both went well. I now need to get up to speed on small business creations. I have one test client and it should be interesting. If I pass my test aka...a difficult client. Then my vet will refer her clients to me. We are also going to corroborate to bring kitten training classes and cat education classes to her clients. It should be a lot of fun if we can work out the details. I have lots of research to make sure I am bringing as much as I can that would benefit other cat owners. I can't wait!

I am also volunteering with Animal Humane. Apparently I am know there and am starting to make a name for myself. One of the ladies there was like "Are you Jennifer? From Cat Talkers? OMG! I am so happy you are here. We have been wanting to bring you on board!" LOL, weird but very cool. So I will be working with their harder cases and helping out with evaluating cat behavior. If they get enough money for 2009 it might mean a staff position. I am not sure I want a staff position but I will defiantly use this as an opportunity to learn more, do more, and gain more experience.

So yeah career is moving. Scary, exciting, and really thrilling all in one. Wish me luck. LOL.

The baby challenge

Or something like that. Adin and I decided about a year ago to pull me off birth control. We have been pretty focused on Jadin but we really do want to have one more child. We have had the genetic essays done to make sure we are not both carriers of something fatal or horrid that we have tests for now. We don't want to knowingly bring a child into the world with a major birth defect. But you can only test for so much.

We really want me to get pregnant before the 35 mark as it is more difficult to conceive and risk factors go up. And I would like to give Jadin a little brother or sister that is close to his age. So with this in mind we went to the fertility clinic.

The following might be boring and more then anyone wants to know...so just scroll down or stop reading now. I can't put a behind the cut in vox and sorry but being lazy about it posting to LJ.

I didn't know what to expect exactly. But with both our medical histories we wanted to make sure how healthy we are reproductively. Know what hurdles we have to overcome if any and all that. We went through an hour long question period. It was sort of funny to try to remember all our medicines, surgeries, and such. Then I got a lovely exam and pap smear. Sigh. I hate those things but they are necessary. So we shall be taking some test this month. Apparently we caught me in a good place in my cycle. So I have to get my hormone levels tested, I go for a xray to see if my fallopian tubes are open and functional, and the semen analysis. Luckily that test we can do at home and bring the sample to the lab later on.

But Adin and I are pretty open to see what is going on. We will meet with the doctor at the end of the month to see what the game plan is. It might just be a matter of upping my hormone levels so I ovulate better etc. Or in office insemination. All easy procedures and not exactly expensive. Luckily our healthy insurance does cover a good portion of this. I am blogging about this because it's a pretty big deal and it's interesting to me since I have never researched or studied this stuff.

So expect more blogs about this in the future. Yeah, my blog is turning into a mommy blog...but hey I celebrate all parts of my life. Well that is it for this portion of the baby challenge I shall write more about it later on.

Well the birthday party went very well in SA. We had close to 50 people show up I think. My dad did bar-b-que, potato salad, rice, beans, bread, and of course... MARGARITAS! LOL. It was a great time. The kids had fun and so did the adults. Jadin got introduced to everyone. He loved his first taste of sugar aka the cake. We also got most of it recorded. I still need to do Thank you cards for all his gifts that he got. LOL. My great aunts and uncles finished the party around 3am. They where playing a game called Mexican Train. It's a Dominos game. Adin and I ended up serving everyone popcorn, drinks, and tamales. We where the youngest ones and therefore we got to serve them stuff as they needed it. They outlasted us. It was great. I have very fond memories of these same aunts and uncles doing this on all major holiday's and get together. They would always play poker or dominos till the wee hours while us kids slept on the floor. I finally got to record one of these late night sessions. It's great. It was so good to see my family and get together and provide this sort of family activity to the baby. He has a huge family and they all think he is great. :)

In other news we bought a new car in SA. After much research and looking at Consumer Reports we bought a 2008 Saturn Vue. It has most of the bells and whistles. Leather seats, cargo attachments for cargo cover and many other things. The safety ratings are great and it has Onstar. I feel much better traveling around Colorado and other points of interest this summer with Onstar onboard. If anything happens we can hit a button and have help come to us. It's so cool. LOL. We drove our new car back to ABQ. We had help however. Our good friend Veronica and her son Cameron came with us. Cameron has Leukemia and nearly passed away back in the fall. We went out there to be with our good friends and Cameron and we told him that if he got out of the hospital we would bring him to ABQ. He loves it out here. So we kept our word. Cameron is back in school, has a full head of hair, and in his maintenance part of his treatment. He is an amazing teenager and has a great head on his shoulders.

The drive back home was pretty smooth. We stayed overnight in an hotel because it was a LONG drive and we got off to a late start. The baby did well until we hit Carlsbad. He ended up throwing up. Probably car sick or something similar. We picked up some Pedialyte and he went to sleep. Coming home was SO good. We missed our kitties, house, Leon, and our BED! LOL. I love to travel but three weeks away is a bit much.

So back home and doing well. The baby is walking this week on his own. We have all the gates going but we need cabinet locks. That will happen this weekend. He is sleeping well in his own crib again. Took him awhile to adjust to being back home....and not having grandma and grandpa to pick him up all the time. Yes, spoiled rotten he was.

Jadin had his one year check-up and he is on everyone of his markers. He is a good weight and height. He also got all his shots. He was a trooper and only cried while they where giving them to him. Once it was done he was fine. He has six teeth and is eating like a horse. :) But of course he is growing and is very active....so he is still a lean baby. But not lean as to be unhealthy. We are concerned with his what we can only call "control issues." Due to the cycle of emotional problems his biological mother has, his half-sister, and his grandmother...he will probably suffer from some emotional problems. We plan on getting him in with a child therapist when he is a bit older. Mostly so we can learn how to deal with him when he has these three hour fits where NOTHING works. We are also going to have him see an eye doctor for his slight lazy eye. See if we need to do anything. Oh, and we are getting him circumcised before he gets older.

Yeah as the months go by I defiantly feel like a Mommy. It's weird because I didn't have that 9 month prep. We sort of got thrown into it. But we are very happy with our baby boy and loving raising him.

Oh, my career options are opening up big time. I have several interviews tomorrow and we shall see how it goes. Mostly for director positions and contracting positions. We shall see what comes out of it but all of a sudden you have your degree people take you seriously. LOL.

All for the moment.
